Have you tried vegan cheese made from cashew nuts? I first encountered it at a raw food evening in a delicious raw veg lasagne, layers of cashew cheese with strips of courgette and an intense tomato sauce. Delicious.
I think that cheese is one of the things that vegan’s really miss and although you can’s say that cashew cheese is exactly like cheese it definitely delivers a distinctively cheesy flavour because of the nutritional yeast.
If you haven’t made Cashew Cheese before this is a really easy recipe and can be whipped up in no time and can be used like cream cheese. It’s delicious on toast, as a dip, on sweet potatoes, wraps, or stirred into tofu scramble.
I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

It's called Rebel Recipes and I'm so proud of it. If you like my recipes I know you'll love my cookbook - It took me over a year to develop (and years in the making) and it's packed with deliciously vibrant veg packed recipes!

I LOVE cashew cheese! It really is amazing how quick and easy it is to make. I make mine very similar to this recipe here and I can’t wait to mess around with ingredients. I love your suggestions to throw it in a tofu scramble too; might have to try that out this weekend! Thanks for sharing!

[…] I probably would have added some hummus as well if I’d had some, so that would be a good option to use as an addition or instead of the avocado as would some cashew cheese. […]
